Icy then hot, or nothing at all? How the classic menthol and wintergreen cream compares with a four-ingredient oil.
Icy Hot Original cream combines menthol 10% and methyl salicylate 30%, the wintergreen compound, for an icy feeling followed by heat and a strong smell. Outback Original Oil has no menthol, no methyl salicylate and no heating or cooling feeling. It is four ingredients that soak in quietly.
